Hi I'm Alexandria!
(she/her)
With over 7+ years in Washington focusing on elopements, I have a wide range of expertise that ranges from nuanced details to well known ideas and concepts about landscapes, trails, timelines, permits, light, weather and so much more. I’ve got an in depth planning process so you have all the tools to make your day a reality.
I’m a Leave No Trace aware photographer which means I've taken a course on Leave No Trace Principles in regards to photography and elopements. Our lands need protection more than ever so by practicing Leave No Trace on elopement days, we can be good stewards to the beautiful places we want to keep coming to for years to come.

The Sage Trails Road Map
1.
I’ll be there for your every step of the way. You’ll begin with an extensive planning PDF to brainstorm your day.
2.
Once you have a general idea of how you want to spend your day, you’ll get tons of amazing location suggestions from hikes to easy walk up spots (whatever matches your needs and wants!). With the help of my Leave No Trace PDF, you'll choose your favorite spot. From there, we can truly build your day. You'll get vendor recommendations, permit assistance, a custom timeline built exactly to your day, aaand backup plans on backup plans because Mother Nature is her own diva and we love her for it.
3.
We made it! You get to actually experience everything you dreamed about and now we get to shout it to the skies. You'll get to experience my photography philosophy which combines candid-ness and art. I love to combine the giant landscapes with the essence of my couples. I'll give you general ideas which I want you to make your own so the photos look and feel like you (don't worry I'll help!!). But ultimately I want you to be yourselves, live in the moment, and truly enjoy your day!
This sounds like exactly what I want!
She made every step of the process so easy. From getting to know us as a couple, to scouting locations (and sending us IN DEPTH options), to sending us a Wedding Day Bible to walk us through all the steps along the way (OMG it was AMAZING), to just being the best day-of, Alexandria was a dream.”
What others have said!
Her detailed Q&A and guide helped us narrow down the perfect location. She was easily accessible with any questions we had and allowed us to feel prepared (packing lists, how to apply for permits, etc). Her plan for the day got us all the best lighting and made for amazing photos. The photos truly speak for themselves!! Alexandria has the sweetest personality. She easily blended in with us which made the day feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would rave about working with her all day long!! We can’t thank her enough for making our elopement a dream come true.”

"Alexandria is a DREAM to work with! She goes above and beyond in every single step of the process and makes sure that your day is perfect. She has the best smile and radiates the most positive energy. Thank you so so much Alexandria! We were pinching ourselves the whole day and cannot believe how beautiful our sneak peek photos are. She captured us perfectly and we could not have made a better photographer choice! From the first meeting she felt like a friend."
-Camille & Tom
“My partner and I are both extremely introverted and camera shy but she made us feel so at ease during our time together - and the pictures showed it. By the end of our time together, I felt amazing having my photo taken - which has never in my life happened. She is extremely professional: communicative, prompt, adapts easily and without complaint when needed; but you can tell she is just a ray of sunshine with a positive attitude, who is genuinely happy for you and to be apart of your special day.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! The beauty of your day is you get to invite exactly who you want. If that includes some of your family- great! If that includes some of your close friends, great! Invite who you love :) Here is one of my resources on how to include your family, whether attending or supporting from afar! Please keep in mind not all outdoor spots can handle larger group sizes however, so I strongly suggest to keep groups including yourselves under 15, unless you have a venue rented. This is going to be extremely important this year as well with all the cuts to federal land employees!
Yes friend!! Our natural areas have exploded in popularity over the years. Weekdays give you a better chance at privacy, not to mention ability to find parking, bring any guests along, and participate in any other activities you may want to do. Bonus: if you get married on a weekday AND at sunrise, that is potentially going to be a very private experience.
Yesss. Honestly I love weather, because you never know what you're going to get and it can create some epic things for photographs. Since we are in the PNW, you will always have a chance for rain, no matter if it's the middle of summer. Let's go with the flow as nature is unpredictable! That all being said if the weather is dangerous, we will definitely talk about an alternate plan!
1000% yes. Beyond the pretty images, its a time for you to "warm up" to me! Everyone gets a little nervous when a camera comes out. By allowing me to photograph your getting ready, you're getting used to me taking photos of you and directing you before the ceremony and all important portraits! You'll feel much more relaxed during the super important moments having a camera around!
With elopements, I encourage you to think differently. Because you're intentionally choosing amazing elements for your day to make it more special and feel all the feels, you're probably choosing intentional things for getting ready too. Maybe you rented a gorgeous vacation rental, or maybe you two cozy up in a reading nook together, or maybe you are getting ready at a trailhead and doing a first look around your vehicle. All this is SO unique and different from hotel big weddings. It's the way you are choosing to spend your morning! We could easily spend 2 hours documenting getting ready!
BOTH! I love venues too! Adventure looks different to everyone - if you're wanting more of a traditional experience on smaller scale, I'd love to photograph at your venue! You definitely do not have to hike. Or maybe if you like hiking, you could hike alone and then celebrate later at a venue with your group. I love it all. Washington has so many beautiful spots that feel like you're surrounded by nature too! Check out my resource here on Outdoor Venue Ideas for WA State!
